Open Post: Who invented this calendar anyway?

How unfortunate.

Yes, Grantaire was fully aware that the year being longer at the mansion would logically cause seasons to drift when someone kept track of the old calendar, or at least what had been pinned down as the old calendar for convenience sake, which was almost necessary when people's arrivals weren't necessarily tied to the day they left. He hadn't given it too much thought last year, when his birthday, such that it was, arrived in spring like he was used to.

Dark, though, was unfortunate. Not inappropriate for the next notable anniversary coming up, but for this one, not at all. Of course, it wasn't as if he would have been planning much in the way of an event, Dark or no, but it would have been nice to treat himself to something or other, regardless.

Instead, he has installed himself in the game room, where he is carefully balancing dominoes on their ends to make a domino rally on the billiards table. It's a nice large flat surface, so it should work nicely. Have to keep entertained somehow.

"Good. Everyone ought to know how special you are to me, including yourself." He hates that this month is affecting his powers so much. What he really wants to do right now is go in Grantaire's mind and let him feel exactly how loved he is, but even if he hadn't already exhausted himself today, he doesn't trust his weakened state enough to go messing around in someone's mind this month.

Another kiss, and then, "Alright, you have to show me how to be good at pinball now."
